| •Support OWWF | Adopt an Animal Adoption Disclaimer: Animals may be adopted by more than one "parent". You will be adopting the species of animal, not an individual animal.
Museum animals, like all living things, are subject to change. They may become ill, die, or be moved to another environment. If any of these things happen, your adoption will be transferred to another animal. Animals remain at OWW, under the care of the professional staff. Your tax deductible donation will help to care for the animals of Old World Wisconsin. No ownership rights are conferred by sponsoring an animal. Animals may not be on exhibit at all times, based on plans and weather conditions.   |
   Adopt An Animal Of Old World Wisconsin Anyone can "adopt" one of OWW's historic breed animals for a year. Individuals, schools, scouts, families, businesses, organizations, and classrooms can sponsor their favorite animal for one year. By adopting, you can share in preserving historic breeds. Animal adoptions make great gifts, too! Adoption funds are used to provide improvements to the animals' 19th century habitats, winter quarters, environmental enhancements for animals, health management, feed, training for use in educational interpretation and acquisition of heirloom breeds of animals for the collection. OWW's historic breed collection receives the best nutritious food, medical care and attention. However, costs of daily care consume a large part of the museum's animal budget. When an adoption is done in your name, or someone to whom you send a gift, you may be assured that the animal you've chosen will receive the full benefit of your contribution.
